September Reading Recs Recap - Another month of great reading

Welcome to my reading list roundup. A safe place where I whittle away at my "to be read" pile. I'm currently on a roll. A book a week! Well, almost...

These stories are so well written that I feel I stepped into the worlds of Esme Nicoll and Peggy Jones, worlds where women yearn for more than what they’re allowed. Esme longs for words and a way to define her life experience. Peggy longs to read and learn about the books she helps to bind every day.

Part two of My Year of Gothic Horror features Jane Austen and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.

Two book reviews. Two points of view. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and James by Percival Everett.

Part 1 of my year of Gothic Horror features Horace Walpole and Ann Radcliffe.

Quick summaries of 7 novels I recommend you add to your reading list.
